T71/856 St Mary claim no. 33, which identifies Bigge as of Ludgate Hill and Edward Pope as claimant as tenant for life, and describes Bigge's appointment with a co-trustee to invest the compensation money. In T71/856 St Mary No. 406, again a claim by Edward Pope, Bigge was a co-awardee with George Scovell, probably his father-in-law or brother-in-law.
